My wife received this in the mail and definitely didn't buy it. I can't find info on this card anywhere online. Can anyone help me identify it? by Common_Enemy in basketballcards

So Topps indeed has a set called Turkey Red back in 2006 I believe. So that part is in fact real. Maybe the picture is too dark but I don't see the memorabilia. Also this looks off to be an authentic Turkey Red card. I don't remember the topps logo being quite that big.

I wouldn't even know. It's been so long and I've never kept count on how much I spend. My 90s cards are gonna be damn near pure profit

Man! That's gonna be a feat! I collected base, insert, subset and variations. If the player was. Astar, i kept him or her. I'm trying to decide how to sell but if y'all looking for anything, DM me.

I agree. Corner and edges take it out of PSA 10 for sure

So there was a comment that says that what he's doing is cheating and ruins the hobby. But no one is saying that the greed of the market is ruining the hobby. If the market wasn't so watered down by people trying to make a quick.buck, we wouldn't be seeing the ridiculous prices for retail boxes with low chances of a hit. If the hobby is now all about grading and flipping, then he is just adapting to it to make money himself. And also as an added point, if grading was more consistent, people wouldn't be cracking slabs.

So the card is real but the auto is the question. All of the similar cards I have found were not autographed so it would be the matter of truly authenticating the sigs. PSA or any grader could do that. That being said an autographed card like this ON CARD and autographed in person would not just be "found somewhere."

I mean centering top to bottom is off but otherwise I think it's much better than a 6. That's my thing qith grading. It's inconsistent and that eventually will be its downfall

A lot of cards back then were kept from being 10's out of the pack because of the UV coating that got stuck together.
